  • I've seen them! They DO have a strangely ugly-cute quality about them. Like you want to pet them because you want to know how soft is the skin...and you want to give them a cuddle and tell them that it's okay, they can look hideous if they want....and you want to knit them little sweaters.....

    Ugly-cute. Naked mole rats do it right.

  • They're cold blooded.  Very interesting in a mammal. live for 30 years too - interesting in any non-bird, small animal
